A geometry string is a standard way of describing the size and location of a top-level window on a desktop.
A geometry string has this general form:
'w
xh
±x
±y
'
where:
The
and w
parts
give the window width and height in pixels. They are
separated by the character h
'x'
.
If the next part has the form +
, it specifies
that the left side of the window should be x
pixels from the
left side of the desktop. If it has the form x
-
, the right
side of the window is x
pixels from the
right side of the desktop.
x
If the next part has the form +
, it specifies
that the top of the window should be y
pixels below
the top of the desktop. If it has the form y
-
, the bottom of
the window will be y
pixels above
the bottom edge of the desktop.
y
For example, a window created with geometry='120x50-0+20'
would be 120 pixels wide
by 50 pixels high, and its top right corner will be along
the right edge of the desktop and 20 pixels below the top
edge.
